High On Fire Frontman Talks Severe Alcohol Addiction

High On Fire's singer and guitarist Matt Pike has opened up about his near fatal experience with alcohol addiction.

In this week's The Drum Media, Pike confessed, “I basically drank my liver into submission,” when talking about his battle with the bottle.

“My playing was starting to be affected a bit, but most of all I felt awful all the time – to the point where I was hospitalised for a few days. It got so bad that I knew that if I kept drinking I was going to die,” he said.

Pike made the difficult decision to check into rehab and thankfully, it all worked out for him in the end.

“I realised that I wouldn't be much use to anyone dead, except maybe selling a bunch of swag, so I did the obvious thing and checked myself in. Since I've got out I've been feeling great and looking forward to getting back on the road.”
